Message in the Amber (Live at Tavastia 2021)

[Verse 1]
Your heart is eternal
Like a bee in amber
Distant words in your gaze
Drops of blood in honey-stream
The memories of these days and times
When moments became eternity

[Pre-Chorus]
Fallen, no drums echo on waves
Sunken, long-lost the kingly message
Fallen, fallen is the herald
Sunken is the oaken ship

[Chorus]
Death-rimed peat and mould
Eat away castles, flags
Marsh swallows up the treasures
Thus dawns the Age of Moss
Bridge falls to the ground
Eat away castles, flags
Trestle crumble, roads overgrow
Thus dawns the Age of Moss
Thus dawns the Age of Moss

[Verse 2]
Just floating scraps that search their forms
Shards sinking to the bottom
Wealth and knowledge buried by mud
Magic blade covered by sand

[Pre-Chorus]
Fallen, no drums echo on waves
Sunken, long-lost the kingly message
Fallen, fallen is the herald
Sunken is the oaken ship

[Chorus]
Death-rimed peat and mould
Eat away castles, flags
Marsh swallows up the treasures
Thus dawns the Age of Moss
Bridge falls to the ground
Eat away castles, flags
Trestle crumble, roads overgrow
Thus dawns the Age of Moss

[Verse 3]
If, by a chance, a mussel
Or a playful otter
Would take one shard ashore
Maybe sometime, someone
Should find the amber
And lift it to the sun

[Bridge]
Your heart is eternal
Like a bee (Like a bee) in amber
The memories of these days and times
When moments became (Moments became) eternity

[Chorus]
The death-rimed peat and mould
Eat away the castles and flags
The marsh swallows up the treasures
Thus dawns the Age of Moss
The bridge falls to the ground
Eat away the castles and flags
The trestle crumble, roads overgrow
Thus dawns the Age of Moss
Death-rimed peat and mould
Eat away castles, flags
Marsh swallows up the treasures
Thus dawns the Age of Moss
The bridge falls to the ground
Eat away castles, flags
Trestle crumble, roads overgrow
Thus dawns the Age of Moss

[Outro]
Marsh swallows up the treasures
Death-rimed peat and mould
Bridge falls to the ground
